While high enantioselectivity has been achieved with both chiral metal and organic catalysts, these catalysts are only effective with ethyl 3,3,3-trifluoropyruvate as the electrophile.
While the high efficiency of 6′-OH cinchona alkaloids in the promotion of mechanistically unrelated C—C bond formations had been demonstrated, it was unknown if the 6′-OH cinchona alkaloids might function as efficient catalysts for enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reactions of indoles with carbonyl compounds.

General Procedure for Friedel-Crafts Addition of Indoles to α-Ketoesters
[0290]At room temperature to the solution of pyruvates 3a-d (0.2 mmol) in Et2O (0.4 mL) was added Q-1d or QD-1d (10 mol %) and followed by addition of indoles (0.4 mmol). Then the mixture was let stand at room temperature for 40-72 hours (as indicated in Table 1, entries 1-10). The reaction mixture was subjected to flash chromatography to afford the desired product 4. For entries 12 and 14 in Table 1, 0.02 mL of Et2O was added to the reaction mixture. For entries 13, 15, 17, 18, these reactions were carried out at 70° C. in 0.02 mL of t-butyl methyl ether (TBME). For entries 16, the reaction was carried out at 70° C. in 0.05 mL of t-butyl methyl ether (TBME). See FIG. 3.

General Procedure for Friedel-Crafts Addition of Indoles to Aldehydes
[0291]At room temperature to a solution of the aldehyde (5a-d) (0.2 mmol) in TBME (0.02 mL) was added Q-1d or QD-1d (10 mol %) and followed by the addition of the indoles (0.4 mmol). Then the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 4-72 hours (as indicated in Table 2, entries 1-6) or at 70° C. for 40-48 h (entries 7-8, Table 2). The reaction mixture was subjected to flash chromatography to afford the desired product 6. See FIG. 4.

Abstract
In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to methods for asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation catalyzed by bifunctionalcinchona alkaloids. In certain embodiments, the catalyst is a 6′-OH cinchona alkaloid. In certain embodiments, the electrophile is an α-ketoester or aldehyde. In certain embodiments, the nucleophile is an aromatic heterocycle. In certain embodiments, the nucleophile is an aromatic N-containing heterocycle. In certain embodiments, the nucleophile is an indole. In certain embodiments, the methods of the invention are relatively insensitive to concentration, temperature, air and moisture.
